After studying literature at Belmont University in Nashville, TN, then Theology and Conflict in graduate school at Boston University, and spending a few years living in Kansas City, MO, Danielle has finally moved home to Seattle. She and her fiancé, Mason Pashia, purchased a home in West Seattle in March 2021 and are greatly enjoying the Pacific Northwest. While living in Kansas City, Danielle worked at the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, where she led a wide variety of community initiatives—including a partnership with Sesame Street to increase awareness of the importance of early learning. (Yes, she has met Elmo.) Upon moving to Seattle, Danielle Morgan married Rick McBride on February 27, 2021, in Clearwater Beach, FL. They had a beautiful ceremony on the beach and reception with friends and family, although some guests were missing due to COVID-19. Their dog Bear went viral on TikTok as the ring bearer!

Kristina Engelstone

Kristina has been living in northeastern Hungary since early 2020, teaching English and yoga. Living there comes with learning the language and the unique culture. This year, she began a job at an international school, working with little ones, aged 3 – 5 years. Most of the children do not speak English, so it is challenging! Her goal is to establish an outdoor program at the school to bring young children and their families out into the natural world. She sends blessings from the land of sweet paprika and goulash!
